Forums set for school board, trustees hopefuls

Two candidates' forums are scheduled this week for vacant seats on the Board of Education and the Harford Community College Board of Trustees.

The question-and-answer sessions will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday for the two trustees openings and 7 p.m. Thursday for the school board vacancy.

Both forums will be at Southampton Middle School on Moores Mill Road. They are sponsored by the Harford County Permanent Nominating Caucus and are open to the public.

A voting convention will be held Oct. 27 for caucus delegates to determine their choices. The caucus will send the top two names for each seat to Gov. William Donald Schaefer, who will make the appointments.

The nonpartisan caucus is made up of members from PTAs, churches and other civic groups. Two delegates or two alternates from each member organization will be allowed to ask the candidates questions.
